Spencer decided that he needed to pack a lunch too!

  I’m sure the crepe paper tasted great!

Spencer is funny.  He loves to move things, and hide them.

Swim season has started!  

Junior can’t stay awake past 7:30 pm :)

My foot, five days after I broke my ankle.

  Ouch!

Spencer has started a new thing… 

He has “no” hands when you need him to do something.

I had the opportunity to go with Josh this last week to California.  Josh’s parent stayed with all our crazy kids so I could go.  The kids were so nice for grandma and grandpa that they got the stomach bug while we were gone (and then shared it with them too).  It was a nice relaxing trip for me :)  My parent’s road out to California with us.  They stayed with my brother Dennis during the week.  It was fun to see my niece and nephews, as well as my brother and sister-in-law.  But sadly as we were packing up for our long drive home (20 hours) I rolled my ankle and broke it!  We were in California…  And we had to have the car back 26 hours after that…  We didn’t have the time to find where our insurance would pay for us to go, nor the time to sit in an ER and wait for x-rays.  So we drove home, and I road with my foot wrapped in an ace bandage on the dashboard.  Now I get to wear a “fun” boot on my foot for four weeks!

We ate shawarma with my niece 

while we were in California.

 It was sooooo good!

I woke up with a black eye the other day.

   

 I think Spencer gave it to me. 

It took almost two weeks for it to go away.

The youngest three girls did cheer leading this spring. 

 

They got to perform for half time at the high school basketball game.

Our cactus bloomed.

Catalina had a music program a couple weeks ago.

   She had a solo in a song and a speaking part.  

 She did great! 

 As Myra put it, “She did better than I thought she would!”

Josh got to ref.

All of Ben’s pictures were blurry :(

My cute “Strawberry Blonde” little girl!

Spencer cracks me up! 

  He tries to make people laugh. 

  His siblings only make it worse by laughing and encouraging him.

   I think we are in trouble :)

 Savannah had a music program at school last month.   

  She had a speaking part.

 She did a great job, even though she wasn’t feeling the best.

 Love Savannah!

Beautiful Brooklyn!

 Kids being goofy… 

  I love my kids!

Even the big kid :)

We went out for ice cream the other night.

   

 

 Spencer was “fun” to watch eat ice scream…

  Love this little guy!

It was eighties day at school.

Brooklyn thought I was joking on 

how we dressed in the eighties :)

I love my husband!

Lucky to call him mine!
